I wanted to read this after seeing the movie last year. But this is a limited example of when the movie is actually better. The movie is full of amazing Dolly Parton songs, not SO focused on boys/dating, and it has some great acting by Danielle Macdonald as Willowdean (who also did a fabulous job in Unbelievable). The book was just too boycrazy for me and sadly didn't work for more as well as the on-screen adaptation. 3 stars.
